I have spent many a coffee break this week watching my neighbours on the other side of the valley spreading fertiliser. It makes you feel quite decadent observing others at work whilst relaxing & boosting your own caffeine levels. Organic status has saved us a fertiliser bill but the straw bill just takes it place, and to get here straw has had to travel a very long way!

I have nearly finished all the preparations for the Smallholders Show in Builth Wells this weekend. Its a fab show. I have printed so many Tractor Mad pairs of Dickies overalls that I barely saw Tuesday. So all packed and ready to load up tomorrow. This will be the first year of taking number 1 son as a stand operative. I hope that we both survive in tact. His main focus is currently a Welsh Black Steak for supper, lets hope I can get a fair amount of effort from him before that! We have a tradestand in the Glamorgan Hall so if you are coming to the show do say `hello.` Alternatively you can always take a peek at our website!

Really impressed with the grass growth situation, long may it continue, but lets have a dry weekend for the show or at least a request for rain at night only. Well you can but try.............
